The sign comes out once a year for special occasions, here it is in its native state. We finally learned the whereabouts of the metal sign! It has taken many years and many questions, but now we know! Photos are coming soon with a blog post on the story.

I wanted to give credit to some of the people who have helped me move this forward in one way or another. Gathering photos, information and memorabilia for a park that closed almost 40 years ago is a collaborative (and daunting!) process. While there are too many contributors to list all by name, my sincere thanks and gratitude go out to everyone.

Harry Applegate - the official Six Flags historian/site admin of the Great Adventure History page for seeking out information that has long since evaporated into thin air. I appreciate your efforts!

Oliver Grieb and OlidayTours for letting us use your zebra jeep for some press photos.

​​Me for ignoring this feedback and moving forward with the website: "No one cares about Jungle Habitat except you and a few of your jackass friends." We've had over 23,400 hits and visits from 75 countries all over the globe. Apparently people still do care.

The upper parking lot today. Where are all of those cars? It was built to have a 4,000 car capacity.

This covered van was used for special group tours and V.I.P.s. It even had air conditioning; a rare treat for 1972.

All visitors to the Habitat received a cassette tape and a cassette player upon entering the park. This is an audio file of the contents of that cassette. Best cassingle ever!

THE SIGN IS SAFELY TUCKED AWAY

In May of 2014 we put the call out to find the missing Jungle Habitat entry way sign. Within one week and 1,400 hits you delivered! This sign was made after the first season the park opened. The metal sign which initially graced the entryway was replaced. The metal sign is only visible in the Warner Brothers press film from opening season (and countless family photos from the summer of 1972). The metal one has also been found. This plywood gem was taken by a group of Ringwood hooligans who remain my favorite archivists of local history.
